Check out that manufacturer I linked... a couple of their models were very reasonable, less than $300 if I remember right - and specifically built for a car.
I'd safely assume you aren't going to be "power computing" in your car, or doing any serious gaming- and that being the case, you could probably run a computer with 10 year old technology and not be bottlenecking yourself one bit.
The machine I have LEAP and LMS set up on at my house is at least a 10 year old machine... in part has to be because of the old-school card required for my version of LMS.
Plus the biggest benefit of that site I linked: operating system.
Are you going to want to wait for that computer to "boot up" every time you get in your car? You'll probably be halfway there by the time it does, particularly if you have an older (or older-style) machine - Windows is a pig, simple.
That software that runs on those machines I linked is again built specifically for a car - I'd guess (although I haven't seen it booted up, just saw it running at CES, and in the old Stinger Electronics CES demo vehicle - that sick Dodge Magnum wagon with the waterfall and projector screen?) it would boot up much faster than a Windows machine.
